I have been participating in the DBT program for just over 6 months, and I really look forward to the weekly group sessions, because it's the first time I've ever felt comfortable sharing inner most thoughts and feelings.
DBT had become my 'safe' place, the only place where I felt truly comfortable to be me (besides here, of course )
This morning, one of the women in group lost her temper and threw a tanty and because we weren't responding in the way she wanted, she started throwing things we'd all revealed about ourselves into our faces.
The facilitators let her go, and she continued to verbally attack and criticise us, bringing up things that are extremely painful.
Everyone in group was clearly getting really distressed.
This woman continued her tirade for about 20 minutes, before someone stepped up and told her to shut up.
After the session, One of the facilitators approached me and may as well have said she didn't mean it, get over it!!!

I'm soooo angry!!!

I feel like the sense of security and acceptance I felt there has been snatched away, and now I'm questioning if there is any point continuing with the program, because I know I'll close myself off now.

Sorry, just needed to vent.....................
